Phillip Lindsay blew up for 79 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries while nabbing four catches for 27 yards on five targets Sunday in the Broncos’ Week 11 win over the Chargers.

The rookie flashed his signature speed with a 41-yard touchdown burst during the second quarter, then made a second end-zone visit in the fourth, this time scoring on a direct snap from two yards out. Lindsay butchered a fourth-and-one chance during the second quarter, but that was his only false step in an otherwise flawless performance. Even with Royce Freeman back from a two-game absence, Lindsay still won the touch battle 15-8 while out-gaining Freeman by 76 yards. At 5'8/190, Lindsay isn't the biggest dog in the fight, but he hits the hole as hard as any back in the league. The former Colorado Buffalo will remain a locked-in RB2 when the Broncos return home to face Pittsburgh in Week 12. Nov 18 - 7:25 PM

Phillip Lindsay fought for 60 yards on 17 carries in the Broncos' Week 9 loss to the Texans.

He added 24 yards on two catches, too. The Texans boast what's arguably the league's top rush defense, inevitably keeping Lindsay bottled up for 3.5 YPC on 17 hard-fought totes. Devontae Booker frustratingly vultured the Broncos' only rushing score of the day, but Lindsay still worked ahead and out-touched him 19-5. Including Week 8, Lindsay's now out-touched Booker 40-18 in Denver's last two games without Royce Freeman. The undrafted rookie will see his recent surge in touches reduced once Freeman returns after the bye, but it's clear the team has no fear in featuring him if Freeman misses any further action.

Phillip Lindsay rumbled to 95 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries while also contributing three catches for 17 yards on three targets Sunday in the Broncos’ Week 8 loss to the Chiefs.

He punched in a goal-line touchdown during the first quarter and also had a two-point try later in the game he could not convert. The 18 carries were a career-high for Lindsay, who has now gone for 90-plus rushing yards in back-to-back weeks. The undrafted rookie could have had a bigger day but he had at least two long runs erased by holding penalties on his offensive line. Lindsay's speed was evident Sunday as the 24-year-old Colorado State alum broke off chunk gains whenever he had an opening. He out-touched back-field mate Devontae Booker (who was also excellent on Sunday) by a significant 21-13 margin. Lindsay will see his workload reduced once Royce Freeman returns from his sprained ankle, but in the meantime, he's worth firing up as an RB2 in all fantasy formats. He'll face the Texans at home in Week 9. Oct 28 - 4:33 PM

Phillip Lindsay rushed 14 times for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' Week 7 win over the Cardinals.

Lindsay added a six-yard reception. It felt like Lindsay was delivering chunk gains every time he touched the ball, so it was disappointing that he got the rock just 16 times in a 45-10 victory. Part of the problem was short drives, as five Cardinals turnovers kept setting the Broncos up with gorgeous field position. Seven of Lindsay's 14 carries gained at least five yards, while five gained at least nine. Lindsay also had a 24-yarder called back by holding. Running circles around Royce Freeman every week — although good in his own right most of the year, Freeman went just 13/37/1 this evening — Lindsay is well established as an RB2. Oct 18 - 11:24 PM

He's still recovering from offseason hip surgery and likely won't be ready for several more weeks. Taylor has amassed just 29 catches through his first two seasons and could be on the Broncos' roster bubble.

It has since been confirmed. It's beyond brutal for the one-time promising prospect, who is now dealing with his third career ACL tear. The first two were to his right knee. For the Broncos, it further hollows out an already thin tight end group. Neither of Jeff Heuerman or Matt LaCosse are going to become a factor catching the ball in Butt's absence. Butt is still only 23, but his NFL career is headed in the wrong direction. He can be dropped in Dynasty leagues.

Broncos LG Max Garcia suffered a torn ACL at Thursday's practice and is done for the season.

Garica took every rep at Thursday's practice but felt some discomfort and scans revealed the devastating injury. Garcia was filling in for Ronald Leary, who tore his Achille's in Week 6. Already without C Matt Paradis (leg, I.R.), this Denver offensive line is in shambles as LT Garett Bolles has been a first-round whiff to this point. Billy Turner is expected to take over at left guard.
